　　, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming too soon and die. The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida within several decades. These are just a few examples of the serious consequences of climate change supported by a new analysis in Nature.

　　In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degree Celsius)

　　and are projected to jump by about 3 degrees F (1. 7 degrees C)

　　by the end of the century, says study lead author Cynthia Rosenzweig, who heads the Climate Impacts Group at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York City. "We've already seen that a relatively low amount of wanning," she says, "can result in a broad range of changes. "

　　The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings (萌动)

　　and mating patterns to survive.

　　To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter's thaw(解冻时期) , are returning to Colorado from their migrations (迁徙)

　　some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these changes can throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death.

　　"Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to," says Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University.

　　1. What does the first paragraph mainly present to the readers?

　　A. The survival of polar bears in the Arctic.

　　B. The terrible situation for the coastal town along Florida.

　　C. A brief description of what a warming world will look like.

　　D. A new analysis of climate change in Nature.

　　答案解析：答案为C。本题为段落大意题。细读第一段，先描述气候变化的几个严重后果的例子，最后进行概括总结，故答案为C。A，B选项都是后果之一，D选项不是第一段的重点。注意把握最后一句 “These are just a few examples of the serious consequences of…”, 答案就不难选择。

　　2. According to the passage, what has happened to plants as a result of warming climate?

　　A. Many species of plants have died out.

　　B. Some flowers have appeared ahead of time.

　　C. Apple trees have produced less fruit.

　　D. Plants have provided no food to birds.

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “In North America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly that have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule...”可知，花卉提前开放。故答案为B。

　　3. What can be learnt about robins from the passage?

　　A. They are good at telling the direction.

　　B. They can predict the change of weather.

　　C. They usually come back when spring comes.

　　D. They have to move away for cool weather.

　　答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段 “To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter's thaw, are returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past.” 可知，robin鸟是冬天解冻时期的象征，比往年要早两周回到Colorado，故可以推断，这些鸟在春天天气暖和后才回来，由于全球气温升高，他们可以早点回到Colorado。故答案为C。

　　4．What does the passage mainly tell us?

　　AMan-made warming changes nature’s clock.

　　B. Global warming is unavoidable.

　　C. Both plants and animals will change.

　　D. People need to adapt to climate change.

　　答案解析：答案为A。本题为文章主旨大意题。结合全文内容，人类活动导致全球气温升高，造成了生态系统中动植物生物钟的紊乱，最后一段 “Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,”再次点题。故答案为A。

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert(警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.

　　Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计)more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.

　　The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.

　　“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.

　　Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies—is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.

　　The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.

　　There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.

　　The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats”, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction(绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.

　　The service could be in place by 2010.

　　1. What is the purpose of the approved plan?

　　A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.

　　B. To popularize the use of cell phones.

　　C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.

　　D. To promote the wireless industry.

　　2. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of　.　

　　A. CTIA

　　B. the Warning Alert and Response Network Act

　　C. FCC

　　D. federal regulators

　　3. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by　.　

　　A. the US federal government

　　B. mobile phone users

　　C. the carriers themselves

　　D. the law of the United States

　　4. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?

　　A. They must accept the alert service.

　　B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.

　　C. They must send the alerts to others.

　　D. They may choose the types of messages.

　　5. An alert message will NOT be sent if　.　

　　A. a child loses his way

　　B. a university shooting happens

　　C. a natural disaster happens

　　D. a terrorist attack occurs

　　6. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

　　A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students

　　B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry

　　C. Cell Phone Alerts of Natural Disasters

　　D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon

　　【参考答案】1—5、ACCBA
